My brother house next my about 30 feet clear nothing block and his at&t wifi router close to window next to my house. Can i get the strong signal?

At just 30 feet you would get a strong signal, yes. Not sure you need a unit with this range capability for just 30 feet and nothing blocking, maybe something cheaper would do as well. Suggest to look at the other Hawking indoor repeater units, as they would likley do the job.

This thing is a real pain to program as you can see by other reviews. I could never get mine to work even with hours of tech support. Get the Ubiquiti PicoStation M. Cheaper and very easy to setup. Mine covers a radius of about 1000 feet. Easier to mount and smaller too.

A repeater such as this would work, but if you do not require a repeater to be mounted outside, you're may be overpaying. Thirty feet is not a great distance for a wifi router. Perhaps locating the router higher in your brothers house would be helpful in increasing the signal strength to yours. This Hawking exterior repeater is very good, but is meant to be used outdoors and you pay for that feature.

Try getting very close to your router, like less than 2 feet away, sounds silly but this worked for me it seems this tablet wont pick up wifi at any distance even if it shows signal.

Good possibility . My installation is not in the woods but I am picking up signals from that distance from some of my neighbors. I am in the country but it is open and flat. If you can get any signal this will boost it .

I have a 2800 sf house, with the router place in the room above the garage mounted on a wall vertically. The single to the other side of the house is ok, 52mb out of 145mb. I will be installing a shelf to mount horizontally to try getting a better signal, just have not gotten to it.

Look for a wireless booster for your signal, if you can string up a LAN cable it's much better and faster. Cheers

There are several things you can do to get better signal. The higher in your home you can locate your router the better. If you are stuck keeping it in a lower level, I found the DAP-1320 repeater to work quite well and an inexpensive fix. I use one of these to provide signal to the backyard and find it to be quite good.

You'll need to have a really strong feeder signal from your router. It says 70%, but you're going to need more like 85%

It depends on the layout of your house. 30 feet with no walls is about the max range. If walls are involved range drops off. And it depends on the walls. If they are insulated, thickness, etc. Basically, anytime the signal has to go through any solid object it reduces the signal strength and range. But that goes for any wireless signal.

I would estimate the range to be a few houses away. So you can have the wifi modem inside and use the adapter to pickup clearer signal outside. It's not as far as most people say though.

Yes. If you have a large home with many obstructions (metal stud walls & beams) then 2 of these maybe required to span the wifi signal.

The connection will be weak at best. To do it right use the HAWNR3 router in the brick bldg and us a HW2R1 repeater in the concrete block bldg. Then install a directional antenna on the exterior of each bldg and aim them at each other. This the configuration I use for a 275' distance and it works great!

Your options are A) move the router closer to the bedroom B) replace the antennas on the router - if they are replaceable - with larger/higher gain antennas or C) install a wifi booster. Cisco/Linksys makes one for about $30 and it works pretty well. The Unifi Long Range AP is a great device but if you go for it, I suggest turning off the wifi on your router. Otherwise, you'll be creating two different wireless networks and moving between them may be problematic.

Hello I talked to my neighbor (I have this system but he knows more about it) he said if you cannot pick up a signal anywhere in your house as close as you can get with your Ipad then it's questionable that you could use the extender because it has to have a signal available to use. So the extender has to be placed in a straight line from your mom's modem for it to pick it up and as close as you can get the D-link in your house to your moms. I don't think it will work but ask For product support visit http://support.dlink.com I switched to Netgear available at Best Buy for around 70 dollars works much better because the support is in fan configuration instead of the D-link straight line. Hope I helped.

The range is well above 1600 ft. In fact your neighbors will be in range if you don't use your security included with router, they'll be able to piggy back on your signal.

Has your neighbor granted you permission to use his Wifi? This arrangement will work, provided that you get a strong enough signal. I had the very same arrangement at our lake cottage (neighbor used my wifi), but our lake lots are only 25 feet wide and my router is about 20 feet away from his Cyberstat. He eventually got his own Internet as his kids wanted Netflix. Good luck.

I was able to get a signal to my desktop computer out in the garage, which is detached from my house. the wireless router was probably 75 feet from the garage and through a few walls. signal was medium, not great not terrible. if you can get one of the antennas outside, it would greatly improve the chance of a good signal. no promises. Good luck.

The wireless router needs to be pretty close to you... Myabe like within 100ft?
